sunrise 2

I love this minimilistic silhouette, you provide the base for a great deal of imagination and speculation, the warm background colour sets it off very well. The image could do with a little bit of sharpening, and the tiny spec to the right of the house could be cloned out, but suffice to say, I really like this.

Very well done Scott!

Best Regards

I like the changes you've made -- the building is a pure silhouette, but you've allow a bit of light to come through the bench, imparting a slight golden-brown color to come through -- that's wonderful!  The yellow to gold transition in the sky is great.  The bench looks so inviting -- I wonder what it overlooks (that another nice part of the photo.... just wondering about the view from the bench).  Alf made a couple of good points that you should follow up on (remove the spot, and see if the outline of the building can be sharpened -- but sometimes that's the result of the nature of the building components, and this may be the best you can get.  However, the bench and the ridgeline suggest that a bit more sharpness can be realized without creating artifacts.
